Marbled Bookcase Complete...

Hey everybody! Remember my post from the beginning of the week about Paper Mojo and their awesome marble papers? Well my papers arrived yesterday (so FAST!!! love it.) and they are amazingly gorgeous. I wasted no time getting to work on my bookcase last night.

AND It was really easy and quick!

First I laid them out and decided what went where since they were all different...

Then I hung them using Scotch Poster Tape. It is removable from both the wall and paper if I ever change my mind (and you know I do). Also, the paper is on the thinner side, so I was afraid of any imperfections in my bookcases showing through if I used a glue.

I stuck the tape around the perimeter and peeled off the top corner and then peeled back all the edges of the remaining pieces. This keeps them from sticking to the wall as I try to arrange the paper, and I can easily pull the tabs off once I have it straight...

I aligned the top corner and worked across attaching and smoothing the top tabs. Next, the key to getting it nice and smooth is to slide your hand from the top center down to the bottom, and attach the bottom center tab. Then continue to smooth out from the center to the sides, and lastly the bottom corners. The great thing about this tape was that I could reposition it if I needed to. I then trimmed the overhang on the right with a sharp razor blade...

The sheets were 25"x almost 37" (a nice surprise because they said 24x36 online- and my shelves were 37" high). I had to seam in for the larger areas, and adjusted my shelves to hide that...

I really LOVE it now! ANd complete, this project cost less than $50.

I am not done with the room yet, or the shelf layouts, but wanted to give you a peek and let you know Paper Mojo is for sure an amazing resource. I will definitely be getting more!

Of course, I love this! And I may have told you I have the same paper. It's so pretty. I was lazy and just slapped mine in a frame, but no matter how you display it, it adds instant pizazz and drama. Great job as always, Danika!

Can you tell me what the color of the marbled paper is? Is it all the same color way? It is so hard to tell by Paper Mojos pictures what they actually look like. I have been looking at there site & cant make up my mind. I am definately buying it now after seeing your amazing book cases:)
